Abstract
THE death of Mrs. Tyndall on August 19 removes one of the last links of the Royal Institution with the great era of Victorian science. Louisa Charlotte Hamilton, which was her maiden name, was born on August 3, 1845, and was the eldest of three daughters of Lord Claud Hamilton and Lady Hamilton. Her mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Emma Proby, and her only brother, Douglas James, who assumed the name of Proby in 1904, died in 1931.
